Smart cars do tip: Just after 9:30 this morning, one struck the center barrier on Route 208 in Wyckoff and landed on its side. Police charged the driver with driving under the influence — possibly of marijuana.

The crash, between Russell Avenue and Cedar Hill Avenue, tied up the late morning commute.

A witness told police that Amaya “inexplicitly drove out of his lane of travel into the barrier,” Fox said.

Responding officers “detected the odor of marijuana in the vehicle,” then found a small amount of pot in the car, the chief said.

A blood sample was later taken at the hospital, Fox said, adding that Amaya was issued summonses for driving while under the influence, reckless driving, possession of marijuana and possession of narcotics in a motor vehicle.
